WARP-BEAMING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 584,956, dated June 22, 1897.

Appiimion ned June 26, 1896.

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat we, FRANCIS PARSONS and PHILIPP GoLDscHMIDT, citizens of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Warp-Beaming Machines; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The warp-beaming machine as invented by us possesses the merit of being an individual chanical entity, and can be attached to any warping-mill and beam the warps from said mill-in other words, unwind the silk threads gathered in the warp from the warping-mill and wind them on a number of warp-rolls mounted on our machine, in the present instance to the number of nine,this number having from practical experience been found by us to be the most convenient number for the operator to adjust and control. That, however, the machine constructed by us can be built s0 as to operate more or less than nine warp-rolls without departing from the spirit As the principle of unwinding t-he warp from the warping-mill is sov simple and has been explained and outlined in prior inventions, it will be unnecessary to give more than a passing reference to it, and suffice it to say that from a warping-mill in front of which our machine has been placed the warp is conducted to each individual warp-roll and there evenly wound on the said warp-roll. K

In our description we will refer to the accompanying drawings, where like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different views.

The machine is constructed as follows: On a frame, riveted together of end pieces A and A2 and middle piece A3 and braces At, A5, AG, and A7 and mounted on rollers A8, are attached a series of bearings B, of which one is shown in Fig. l complete, otherwise only indicated in Figs. l and 2 by their pedestals B0, as they are all similarly constructed and operated in the same manner. Said bearings (referring to the one marked B in Fig. l.) have two supports, the one marked B2 having two eyes B3, in which are pivoted the pivot-points C on the pivoted rod C, (see Fig. 4,) the other support B4 carrying the free end of the pivoted rod C, Fig. 4, andvfurnished with a pivoted cap B5 to enable the operator to lift they pivot-rod C out of its bearing B4. This cap B5 is thrown open in Fig. l and in the rear of Fig. 3, while in the front bearing it is shown closed, and when closed is held down by a tongue T, with a projection T, bearing on the end of cap B5, and said tongue T is kept in its position by a spring T2, and as the cap when about to be closed presses against the upper curved part of the tongue it will gradually force it back till it has reached the projection, when the spring will force it inward over the end of the cap, and thus lock it. When the said rod turnson its pivot-points C', it will, as will be explained later, be lifted out of gear, the operator thus being enabled, without stopping the machine, to adjust anything that may be out of order.

The pivoted rod C (see Fig. 4) supports the warp-roll D,on which the warp is being wound, said roll being slipped over the screwcut end and secured up against the gear-wheel E by the wing-nut D'. The pivoted rod C moves loose in the bushgC having pivot-pointsC, the bush consequently act-ing as a bea-ring, the other screw-cut end of rod C moving in the part of bearing B' called BL. The motion to this rod C is given through the medium of the gear E, firmly attached to the rod, and, meshing with its companion gear, becomes an element of the whole gearing system, as will appear later on. The even distribution of the warps on the warp-roll D as it comes from the warping-mill is caused by the guide G, composed of the following part-s, (see Figs. 5 and 6:) A bracket G', furnished at each end with two bushes G2 and G3, is attached above and behind each warp-roll on the bars F3 and F2. (See Fig. 3.) Moving loose in the holes drilled in these bushes is a screw-cut rod G1, operated by a gnarled knob G5, and supported on the screw-cut rod G1 is the guide proper, G, having two pins G11, between which the warp passes, being then led down through the square hole G2, from whence it passes onto the warp-roll. The guide G is of course screweut to match the screw-cut rod G4, so as to enable operator to adjust it relative to its position with the warp-roll. It is also furnished with two lugs GS, that rest on a rib G1 of the bracket, that tend to hold it in a horizontal position.

)Ve sha-ll now proceed to show how motion is given to the warp-rolls and how the guides are moved to and fro across the face of the warp-rolls, thus distributing the warps evenly thereon, and in so doing shall rst describe the individual component elements and subsequently their cooperation with each other in order to attain the above-stated object.

On the main driving-shaft H are attached two pulleys--a loose one Il' and a fast one H2.

A gear-wheel I is keyed on this shaft H,which p gears into two companion gears l2 and l2, keyed, respectively, on shafts L' and L2, said shafts having gears meshing into each of the gear-wheels E, attached to the pivoted rods C, carrying the warp-rolls D. This gear system thus furnishes the revolving motion for the warp-rolls. The motion transmitted to the guides is supplied in the following manner: Keyed to the main shaft I-l is a pinion M, meshing with a gear M'. Said gear M', connected with a pinion M2, revolves around a stud M3, secured to the middle frame A2. The pinion M2, meshing with a gear M1, im-

parts motion to a shaft N, carrying at one end a miter-gear N', which, meshing with its companion gear N2, (see Figs. 7 and 8,) imparts motion to a cam O, acting on a roller O In order to facilitate the explanation of how motion is transmitted from the cam O to the guides G, it will prove more satisfactory to begin with the guides. in the present instance to the number of nine, corresponding to the number of warp-rolls, to

two traverse-bars F2 and F-tlve to the front bar F2 and four to the rear bar F3. Each of said bars passes through two supports P', P2, P2, and P1, each support having a roller on which the bar rests to render the motion frietionless. Secured to each bar is a doubleeycd rod P5, pivoted at its two ends loosely to two bearings, said rod attached to the bar These are attached,

by means of two bearings in preference to one, for the sake of having a good steady hold on the bar, (secured one pair on each bai-) P6 and P1 on traverse-bar F2 and P8 and P2 on traverse-bar F2. Of these PT and P1' have two link-bars P1" and P11, bearing around the same pin, having 011e eye of each of the bars P5. rlhe said link-bars P10 and P11 are at the other end keyed to the rod P12, supported and moving in brackets-P13 and P11. Keyed to this rod P12 is, furthermore, a link-bar P11, to which is movably attached a link-bar P1, said link-bar P11i pivoted to the traverseregulator Q, (shown in detail in Figs. 9, l0, and 11,) and attached pivotally to the movable stud Q', sliding up and down in said traverse-regulator, as will be more fully explained later on, is a bush R', moving in the guide R, to which is finally riveted the bearing supporting loosely the roller O', acted upon by the cam O. It will consequently be seen that traverse-regulator Q and link-bars P1G and P15 form a linked parallel movement, moving around the two fixed centers formed by the rod P12 and the stud or pivot Q2, whichl attaches the traverseregulator to a bearing S. The length of the stroke, as it might be called, or the distance traveled by the guide G from 011e end of the warp-roller D to the other, thus winding the wai-ps on, will be regulated by lengthening or lessening the distance of the stud Q' from the pivot Q2 ,of the bearing S, and this is done by constructing the traverse-regulator Q in the following manner, (see Figs. 9, 10, and 11:)

lnclosed and sliding in the space c ut out in the traverse-regulator, as seen in the sectional view, Fig. ll, is the nut Q', guided and moved by the screw Q2, operated by the hand-wheel Q2, acting 011 miter-gears Q'1 and Q5, located in the upper part of the traverse-regulater. The said nut Q'has a pin Q7 moving loose in a square bush R', said bush sliding up and down in the guide R and held there by a washer R2. The guide R itself is pivoted in a ,bearing R'1 and has, as before stated, a bracket U attached, carrying the roller O', acting on cam O.

The movement in the direction of arrow is accomplished by the cam acting on the roller O up to the point of the cam in the position shown in the drawings,while the return movement is caused by a weight lV, attached toa cord or chain XV', .coiled once around a pulley \V2, the other end of said cord or chain attached to a link-rod 72, keyed fast to the balance-rod P12.

The whole motion of the machine will thus be seen to be the following: lV'hen a belt connected with some motive power has been slipped on the loose pulley Il', and by the operator manipulating the bar ll3 has been moved to the left in the direction of arrowhead, so that the belt is transferred to the fast pulley 112, keyed on the shaft Il, the gear-wheel I will transfer motion to the two Icp IIO

shafts L and L2, carrying the gear-wheels that mesh with the gear-wheel (for example, Ein drawings) attached to each individual pivoted rod C, carrying a warp-roll, and will cause these to revolve and have the warps wound on them. The second movement during the revolving of the warp-rolls of distributingthe warps evenly over the face of the warp-roll is promulgated by pinion M, meshing with its companion gear M, attached to and moving with pinion M2, meshing with its companion gear M4, said gear M4 attached to the shaft N, carrying at its end the mitergear N', (see Figs. 7 and 8,) meshing with its companion gear N2, to which is attached the cam O, loosely revolving in and supported by bearing V and transferring a fo-rward motion in the direction ot' arrow to the guide R through the medium of the roller O, attached to said guide R, and said guide R, connected with the traverse-regulator Q by the nut Q', working in the bush R, sliding up and down in the guide R, moves thus the traverse-regulator, and with this the linked parallelogram composed of traverse-regulator Q, link-rods P1G and P15, moving around the fixed centers located in, respectively, rod P12 and stud Q2, and rodlP12 having keyed on it the two linkrods P11 and P10, attached to their respective traverse-bars F2 and F3, the latter will be given the lateral motion necessary to wind the warps evenly on the warp-rolls, which was the desired object.
